[0008] The following describes in detail embodiments for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "this embodiment"). Note that the following embodiment is illustrative for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In this specification, "~" is used to mean that the numerical values before and after it are included as the lower and upper limits. Furthermore, the upper and lower limits of the numerical values in this specification are given as examples of this embodiment, regardless of the combination of upper and lower limits. In this specification, all physical properties and characteristic values shall be those at 23°C unless otherwise specified. In this specification, when groups (atomic groups) are not specified as substituted or unsubstituted, the notation includes both groups (atomic groups) with and without substituents. For example, "alkyl group" includes not only unsubstituted alkyl groups but also substituted alkyl groups. In this specification, when notation is not specified as substituted or unsubstituted, unsubstituted is preferred. Examples of substituents in this specification are preferably halogen atoms, cyano groups, nitro groups, hydroxyl groups, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, aryl groups, aryloxy groups, heterocyclic groups, heterocyclic oxy groups, alkenyl groups, alkylsulfanyl groups, arylsulfanyl groups, acyl groups, or amino groups; more preferably halogen atoms, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, aryl groups, aryloxy groups, alkenyl groups, or acyl groups; even more preferably alkyl groups, aryl groups, aryloxy groups, or alkenyl groups; and even more preferably alkyl groups. The formula weight of these substituents is preferably 15 or more, and preferably 200 or less. For example, the formula weight of a methyl group (-CH3) is 15. These substituents may have further substituents, but it is preferable that they have no substituents.
[0009] In this specification, "film" refers to a molded product that is thin in thickness relative to its length and width, and is generally flat, and includes sheets. Furthermore, "film" in this specification may be single-layer or multi-layer, but single-layer is preferred. If the measurement methods, etc., described in the standards shown in this specification differ from year to year, unless otherwise specified, the standards as of January 1, 2024 shall apply.

[0010] <Resin composition> The resin composition of this embodiment comprises a polyamide resin (A) containing alicyclic diamine units and aliphatic dicarboxylic acid units, and P(=O)(OR 1 ) 3-n (OR 2 ) n The structure represented by (where R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a metal atom, R 2The resin composition is characterized by comprising a phosphate compound (B) having (where represents a substituent other than a metal atom, and n is an integer of 1 or 2), wherein the content of the phosphate compound (B) is 0.001 to 2.5% by mass in the resin composition. By adopting this configuration, a resin composition is obtained that can provide a film that effectively suppresses the formation of grease and gel during film manufacturing. Die grease is a deposit that forms when polyamide resin accumulates in the die slip area during extrusion molding, and is presumed to be mainly caused by decomposition products of the polyamide resin. By incorporating a stabilizer such as a phosphate compound (B), the decomposition of the polyamide resin (A) can be effectively suppressed. On the other hand, gel formation occurs when the polyamide resin decomposes and recombines to form a polymer due to the thermal history during compounding. In other words, since polyamide resin (A) is inherently a resin that readily reacts with active sites on metal surfaces, it reacts with active sites present on the metal surface inside the molding machine, and it is thought that this reaction promotes decomposition and recombination, resulting in gel formation. In this embodiment, it is presumed that the phosphate compound (B) having a predetermined structure interacts with the metal active sites, effectively suppressing the reaction of polyamide resin (A) with active sites on the metal surface, and thus suppressing the gelation of polyamide resin (A). Furthermore, the resin composition of this embodiment can be made to have excellent transparency and can be preferably used in optical components. The details of this embodiment will be described below.
[0011] <Polyamide resin (A) containing alicyclic diamine units and aliphatic dicarboxylic acid units> The resin composition of this embodiment includes a polyamide resin (A) (which may be referred to as "polyamide resin (A)" herein) containing alicyclic diamine units and aliphatic dicarboxylic acid units. The alicyclic structure of polyamide resin (A) can improve the transparency of the polyamide resin itself, and thus improve the transparency of the resulting film. Furthermore, since polyamide resin (A) has excellent compatibility with phosphate compound (B), the resulting resin composition does not impair transparency.
[0012] In this embodiment, the alicyclic diamine constituting the alicyclic diamine unit is preferably a diamine containing a five-membered ring and / or a six-membered ring. The five-membered ring and / or six-membered ring may or may not have substituents.

[0021] Examples of dicarboxylic acids other than aliphatic dicarboxylic acids include phthalate compounds such as isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, and orthophthalic acid, as well as isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acids such as 1,2-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,5-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and 2,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and can be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0022] The polyamide resin (A) used in this embodiment may further contain aminocarboxylic acid units. Including aminocarboxylic acid units tends to further improve the hue of molded products such as films. There are no specific requirements for the type of aminocarboxylic acid that constitutes the aminocarboxylic acid unit; known aminocarboxylic acids can be used. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the aminocarboxylic acid is composed only of aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, except for the terminal amino group and carboxylic acid group. The molecular weight of the aminocarboxylic acid constituting the aminocarboxylic acid unit is preferably 180 or more, more preferably 190 or more, preferably 400 or less, more preferably 300 or less, and even more preferably 250 or less.
[0023] In this embodiment, the aminocarboxylic acid constituting the aminocarboxylic acid unit is preferably represented by formula (PA-2). [ka] (In equation (PA-2), n is an integer between 5 and 20.) In formula (PA-2), n is an integer between 5 and 20, preferably 6 or greater, more preferably 7 or greater, even more preferably 8 or greater, even more preferably 9 or greater, even more preferably 10 or greater, and also preferably 18 or less, more preferably 16 or less, even more preferably 14 or less, even more preferably 13 or less, and even more preferably 12 or less.
[0024] It should be noted that while polyamide resin (A) mainly contains diamine units and dicarboxylic acid units, it does not completely exclude other monomer units, and it goes without saying that it may also contain lactam units such as ε-caprolactam and laurolactam, and aliphatic aminocarboxylic acid units such as aminocaproic acid and aminoundecanoic acid. In particular, it is preferable that the polyamide resin (A) used in this embodiment contains aminocarboxylic acid units. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the total mass of diamine units, dicarboxylic acid units, and optionally aminocarboxylic acid units among the monomer units constituting the polyamide resin (A) accounts for 90% by mass or more of the total monomer units, more preferably 95% by mass or more, even more preferably 97% by mass or more, and even more preferably 99% by mass or more. In polyamide resin (A), the molar ratio of diamine units to dicarboxylic acid units is preferably 40:60 to 60:40, and more preferably 45:55 to 55:45. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the polyamide resin (A) contains aminocarboxylic acid units, the proportion of aminocarboxylic acid units among the total monomer units constituting the polyamide resin (A) is preferably 1 mol% or more, more preferably 5 mol% or more, even more preferably 10 mol% or more, preferably 50 mol% or less, more preferably 40 mol% or less, even more preferably 30 mol% or less, and even more preferably 20 mol% or less.
[0025] The polyamide resin (A) is preferably amorphous or microcrystalline. Being amorphous or microcrystalline improves the transparency of the resulting film. An amorphous or microcrystalline resin is a resin that does not have a clear melting point, and specifically, its enthalpy of fusion ΔHm is less than 5 J / g, preferably 3 J / g or less, and more preferably 1 J / g or less. The enthalpy of fusion ΔHm is measured in accordance with JIS K7121 and K7122 during the heating process. Specifically, the polyamide resin is heated from room temperature to 250°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min in a nitrogen stream using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), then immediately cooled to below room temperature, and then heated again from room temperature to 250°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min.
[0026] It is also preferable to use polyamide resin (A) manufactured using biomass raw materials (biomass polyamide resin). By using biomass polyamide resin, the environmental impact can be reduced. Polyamide resin (A) may also use monomer raw materials that have been certified under Mass Balance Certification (ISCC PLUS). Mass balance certification means that the extent to which renewable raw materials and bio-raw materials are used in each factory or production facility, and how much of the product is produced or shipped, is quantified and guaranteed along with quality. Furthermore, the polyamide resin (A) may be recycled products (including recovered products, material recycled products, chemical recycled products, etc.), unsuitable products, or scraps generated during the molding of the polyamide resin (A) or the resin composition of this embodiment.
[0027] The weight-average molecular weight of the polyamide resin (A) used in this embodiment is preferably 5000 or more, more preferably 8000 or more, even more preferably 10000 or more, preferably 100000 or less, more preferably 80000 or less, even more preferably 50000 or less, and even more preferably 20000 or less. Setting it above the lower limit tends to further improve the impact resistance of the resulting film. Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve the fluidity of the resin composition. The weight-average molecular weight is the acrylic equivalent value measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography). The solvent used for the measurement was hexafluoroisopropanol.
[0028] In the resin composition of this embodiment, the content of polyamide resin (A) is preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 85% by mass or more, even more preferably 90% by mass or more, even more preferably 95% by mass or more, even more preferably 97% by mass or more, and even more preferably 99% by mass or more, based on 100% by mass of the resin composition. Setting the content of polyamide resin (A) above the lower limit tends to result in a higher glass transition temperature. Furthermore, in the resin composition of this embodiment, the content of polyamide resin (A) is preferably 99.9% by mass or less, based on 100% by mass of the resin composition. Note that in the resin composition of this embodiment, the total of polyamide resin (A) and the phosphate compound (B) described later does not exceed 100% by mass. Setting the content of polyamide resin (A) below the upper limit tends to result in a higher transparency of the resulting film. Furthermore, in the resin composition of this embodiment, all components other than the phosphate compound (B) may be polyamide resin (A). The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of polyamide resin (A), or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0029] The resin composition of this embodiment may or may not contain polyamide resins other than polyamide resin (A). Examples of polyamide resins other than polyamide resin (A) include aliphatic polyamide resins other than polyamide resin (A) and aromatic polyamide resins. Examples of aliphatic polyamide resins include polyamide 4, polyamide 46, polyamide 6, polyamide 66, polyamide 666, polyamide 610, polyamide 11, polyamide 116, polyamide 12, and polyamide 612. Examples of aromatic polyamide resins include polyhexamethylene terephthalamide (polyamide 6T), polyhexamethylene isophthalamide (polyamide 6I), polyamide 66 / 6T, polyamide 9T, polyamide 9MT, polyamide 10T, polyamide 6I / 6T, and xylylenediamine-based polyamide resins (MXD6, etc.).
[0030] Aliphatic polyamide resins and aromatic polyamide resins other than polyamide resin (A) are manufactured using recycled resins or biomass raw materials, and it is also preferable to use polyamide resins (biomass thermoplastic resins). Furthermore, it is preferable that the resin composition of this embodiment substantially contains no polyamide resins other than polyamide resin (A). Specifically, the content of polyamide resins other than polyamide resin (A) in the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably less than 10% by mass, more preferably less than 5% by mass, even more preferably less than 3% by mass, even more preferably less than 1% by mass, and still more preferably less than 0.1% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the resin composition.

[0043] <Polyetheramide elastomer> The resin composition of this embodiment may also contain a polyetheramide elastomer. By using a polyetheramide elastomer in combination with a release agent, it is possible to effectively suppress dirt on the rolls during film manufacturing and the formation of a sharkskin-like texture on the film surface. Furthermore, haze can also be reduced. A polyetheramide elastomer is an elastomer containing a polyether structure and a polyamide structure. The polyetheramide elastomer in this embodiment is substantially free of ester structures. Substantially free of ester structures means that it is not a so-called polyester etheramide elastomer, and more specifically, the ester structure content is usually less than 1% by mass of the polyetheramide elastomer, preferably less than 0.5% by mass, more preferably less than 0.1% by mass, and even more preferably less than 0.01% by mass. The polyetheramide elastomer used in this embodiment preferably comprises a polyalkylene glycol block and a polyamide block.
[0044] Polyalkylene glycol blocks are -(alkylene group-O) n2 - is preferred to represent the above -(alkylene group-O) n2 The alkylene group in - is preferably a linear or branched alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

The polyalkylene glycol block preferably includes a polypropylene glycol (PPG) block and / or a polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) block.
[0045] The proportion of polyalkylene glycol in the polyetheramide elastomer is preferably 5 mol% or more, more preferably 10 mol% or more, even more preferably 15 mol% or more, and even more preferably 20 mol% or more, based on 100 mol% of the total constituent units of the polyetheramide elastomer. Depending on the application, it may be 30 mol% or more, 40 mol% or more, 50 mol% or more, 60 mol% or more, or 65 mol% or more. Setting it above the lower limit tends to further improve the impact strength of the resin composition. Furthermore, the proportion of polyalkylene glycol in the polyetheramide elastomer used in this embodiment is preferably 90 mol% or less, more preferably 85 mol% or less, even more preferably 80 mol% or less, and even more preferably 75 mol% or less, based on 100 mol% of the total constituent units of the polyetheramide elastomer. Setting it below the upper limit tends to improve compatibility with the polyamide resin (A). The polyetheramide elastomer may contain only one type of polyalkylene glycol, or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0046] The polyamide block is preferably represented as an aliphatic polyamide block, -(NH(CH2) n3 C(=O)) n4 It is preferable that the aliphatic polyamide block is represented by -. Here, n3 is preferably 3 or more, more preferably 5 or more, even more preferably 7 or more, even more preferably 9 or more, even more preferably 10 or more, and also preferably 20 or less, more preferably 18 or less, even more preferably 16 or less, even more preferably 14 or less, and even more preferably 12 or less. Furthermore, when n5 is the number of carbon atoms in an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid with 7 to 20 carbon atoms that constitutes the polyamide resin (A) (for example, sebacic acid has n5=10), it is preferable that the difference (absolute value) between n5 and n3 is small. More specifically, it is preferable that |n5-n3| is 3 or less, and more preferably 2 or less. n4 is preferably between 1 and 300, and more preferably between 5 and 100.
[0047] The proportion of polyamide in the polyetheramide elastomer is preferably 10 mol% or more, more preferably 15 mol% or more, even more preferably 20 mol% or more, and even more preferably 25 mol% or more, based on 100 mol% of the total constituent units of the polyetheramide elastomer. Setting it above the lower limit tends to further improve the compatibility with the polyamide resin (A). Furthermore, the proportion of polyamide in the polyetheramide elastomer used in this embodiment is preferably 95 mol% or less, more preferably 90 mol% or less, even more preferably 85 mol% or less, and even more preferably 80 mol% or less, based on 100 mol% of the total constituent units of the polyetheramide elastomer. Depending on the application, it may also be 70 mol% or less, 60 mol% or less, 50 mol% or less, 40 mol% or less, or 35 mol% or less. Setting it below the upper limit tends to more effectively suppress the decrease in the glass transition temperature of the resin composition. The polyetheramide elastomer may contain only one type of polyamide or two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0048] The weight-average molecular weight of the polyetheramide elastomer is preferably 3000 or more, more preferably 5000 or more, preferably 100000 or less, and more preferably 80000 or less. Setting it above the lower limit tends to improve the toughness of the resin composition. Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve compatibility with the polyamide resin (A). The weight-average molecular weight is an acrylic equivalent value measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography).
[0049] The polyetheramide elastomer preferably has a total of 90% by mass or more of the polyalkylene glycol block and the polyamide block, more preferably 95% by mass or more, even more preferably 97% by mass or more, and preferably 100% by mass or less of the polyetheramide elastomer.
[0050] When the resin composition of this embodiment contains a polyetheramide elastomer, the polyetheramide elastomer content is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.5% by mass or more, even more preferably 1.0% by mass or more, and even more preferably 1.5% by mass or more, based on 100% by mass of the resin composition. From the viewpoint of more effectively suppressing dirt on the rolls and the film surface becoming rough, it is even more preferably 2.0% by mass or more, and even more preferably 3.0% by mass or more. Furthermore, the polyetheramide elastomer content in the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably 20.0% by mass or less, more preferably 15.0% by mass or less, even more preferably 10.0% by mass or less, even more preferably 8.0% by mass or less, even more preferably 7.0% by mass or less, and even more preferably 5.0% by mass or less, based on 100% by mass of the resin composition. From the viewpoint of further improving transparency, it is even more preferably 4.5% by mass or less. The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of polyetheramide elastomer, or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0051] <Polyalkylene glycol> The resin composition of this embodiment may also contain polyalkylene glycol having ethylene glycol units and / or propylene glycol units in a total proportion of 50 mol% or more of the total units, and a number average molecular weight of 100 to 3500. By including such polyalkylene glycol, excellent transparency can be achieved, and roll fouling during film manufacturing can be effectively suppressed.
[0052] The polyalkylene glycol contains ethylene glycol units and / or propylene glycol units totaling 50 mol% or more of the total units, preferably 60 mol% or more, more preferably 70 mol% or more, even more preferably 80 mol% or more, even more preferably 90 mol% or more, even more preferably 95 mol% or more, and particularly most preferably 99 mol% or more. Alternatively, all units other than the terminal groups may consist of ethylene glycol units and / or propylene glycol units. By setting the value above the lower limit, polyalkylene glycol tends to bleed out more easily onto the resin surface (e.g., the surface of a molded body such as a film) during molding, and the retention of the resin composition is suppressed by improved slipperiness with the inner wall of the molding machine, thereby further suppressing roll fouling. On the other hand, by setting the total amount of ethylene glycol units and / or propylene glycol units to 50 mol% or more of the total units, the polyamide resin (A) becomes more appropriately compatible, effectively suppressing excessive bleeding out of polyalkylene glycol onto the resin surface during molding, and effectively suppressing roll fouling caused by the polyalkylene glycol itself.
[0053] Polyalkylene glycol may contain other monomer units in addition to ethylene glycol units and propylene glycol units. The other monomer units are preferably alkylene glycol units other than ethylene glycol units and propylene glycol units. Other examples of alkylene glycol units include methylene glycol, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol, hexylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, pentamethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, 3-methyltetramethylene glycol, and hexamethylene glycol.
[0054] The polyalkylene glycol may be modified with arbitrary substituents at its terminal ends. Furthermore, the modification of the ends may be limited to one end of the polyalkylene glycol or it may be limited to both ends. Examples of optional substituents include carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups, alkyl ethers, aryl ethers, aralkyl ethers, fatty acid esters, and aryl esters.
[0055] The number-average molecular weight of polyalkylene glycol is 100 to 3500, with a lower limit of preferably 300 or more, more preferably 500 or more, even more preferably 800 or more, and even more preferably 1000 or more. The upper limit is preferably 3000 or less, more preferably 2000 or less, and even more preferably 1500 or less. Setting the number-average molecular weight above the lower limit tends to effectively suppress the volatilization of polyalkylene glycol. Setting the number-average molecular weight below the upper limit tends to more effectively suppress the decrease in transparency. This is presumed to be because polyalkylene glycol does not easily become completely miscible with polyamide resin (A), forming a sea-island structure. When the number-average molecular weight of polyalkylene glycol is large, the island portion expands, increasing the refractive index difference and reducing transparency. The number-average molecular weight is measured according to JIS K1577.
[0056] Specific examples of polyalkylene glycols include polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, or copolymers containing ethylene glycol units and / or propylene glycol units with other alkylene glycol units. Polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol is preferred, and polypropylene glycol is more preferred from the viewpoint of ease of manufacture.
[0057] Polyalkylene glycol is not particularly limited and may be manufactured by known methods, or a commercially available product may be used. Examples of commercially available products include D-1000 (manufactured by NOF Corporation) and D-2000 (manufactured by NOF Corporation).
[0058] When the resin composition of this embodiment contains polyalkylene glycol, the polyalkylene glycol content is preferably 0.01% by mass or more, more preferably 0.05% by mass or more, even more preferably 0.1% by mass or more, even more preferably 0.2% by mass or more, and may be 0.4% by mass or more depending on the application, etc. Also, it is preferably 5% by mass or less, more preferably 3% by mass or less, even more preferably 2% by mass or less, even more preferably 1% by mass or less, even more preferably 0.5% by mass or less, and may be 0.3 parts by mass or less depending on the application, etc. Setting it above the lower limit tends to effectively suppress roll fouling during molding. Furthermore, setting it below the upper limit tends to more effectively suppress the decrease in the glass transition temperature and toughness of the resin composition. In this embodiment, the total amount of polyamide resin (A) and polyalkylene glycol does not exceed 100% by mass. The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of polyalkylene glycol, or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range. Furthermore, it is preferable that the resin composition of this embodiment substantially does not contain polyalkylene glycols other than the above-mentioned polyalkylene glycol (for example, those with a number average molecular weight of less than 100 or greater than 3500). Specifically, the content of polyalkylene glycols other than the above-mentioned polyalkylene glycol in the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably less than 10 parts by mass, more preferably less than 5 parts by mass, even more preferably less than 3 parts by mass, even more preferably less than 1 part by mass, and even more preferably less than 0.1 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the above-mentioned polyalkylene glycol.

In this embodiment, the polarizing sheet preferably comprises the film of this embodiment and a polarizing film, and is a sheet laminated in the order of polarizing film, protective film, and polarizing film. That is, the film of this embodiment is preferably used as at least one of the protective films of the polarizing sheet. The protective film is usually bonded to the polarizing film via an adhesive. In this embodiment, one of the protective films of the polarizing sheet may be the film of this embodiment or another protective film.
